There is an excellent coloured drawing of M. zanzibarica in the 

 Kew collection. It was received without a name from L. Bouton 



on the other side of the same cardboard was an un- 

 drawing of Fhyllarthron Bojerianum, DC, endorsed 



Phyllarthron Bojerianum, DC. Prod. Hab. in Ins. Madagas- 

 car. Cult, in Ins. Maar." These two drawings were probably 

 executed by Bojer from the living shrub and tree, cultivated at 

 Pamplemousse, and included in his Hortus Mauritianus pp. 219, 

 221 (1837) under the names Spathodea tenui folia, Boj., and 

 Arth roph yllu m madagascariense, Boj . , respectively. Bojer 

 appears to have sent specimens of Markhamia zanzibarica to De 

 Candolle on two occasions : in 1831 under the name Spathodea 

 zanbibarica, and in 1839 as Spathodea tenui folia. De Candolle 

 adopted the former name in the ninth volume of the Prodromus. 

 and the effective publication of the species dates from that work, 

 since no description was given of S, tenuifolia in the Hortus 



Mauritianus. 



In Zanzibar M. zanzibaricus occurs as a shrub 3 m. high on 

 the slopes of coral-limestone hills (Hildebrandt); in the coast 

 region of British East Africa it is a small tree, rarely exceeding 

 9 m. in height (Battis combe). The corolla-tube is buff-coloured 

 with brownish purple spots, and the lobes are brownish purple.
